Podcasts about 2 Corinthians 5

What does eternity have to do with your life right now? In 2 Corinthians 5:1–10, the apostle Paul shows us that the Christian hope is not an escape from this world, but a vision that reshapes how we live today.Though our present lives may feel fragile, temporary, or filled with groaning, God has prepared something greater—a resurrected life where what is mortal is swallowed up by life. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, we already have a guarantee of the future God has promised.Because of this hope, we can live with courage, walk by faith, and pursue lives that please Christ. Our hope for tomorrow gives meaning to our obedience, endurance, and purpose today as we await the fullness of life with Him.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

What happens when the gospel truly takes hold of a person's life? In 2 Corinthians 5:11–21, the apostle Paul shows us that the gospel doesn't simply improve us—it makes us new.Because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, our deepest motivations are transformed, our identity is completely renewed, and our purpose in the world is redefined. The love of Christ begins to control our lives, freeing us from living for ourselves and calling us to live for the One who died and was raised for us.Through Christ, we are made into a new creation. The old has passed away, and the new has come. As people who have been reconciled to God, we are now entrusted with the message of reconciliation and sent into the world as ambassadors for Christ.This message explores how the gospel reshapes our motivations, gives us a new identity in Christ, and calls us into a mission to proclaim God's reconciling grace to the world.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Rev. Scott York preaches on 2 Corinthians 5:11-21 as part of our sermon series, "A Cross-Shaped Life." Living a cross-shaped life means being motivated by Christ's love rather than personal gain or even future rewards. Paul describes being "beside ourselves" for God - doing things that seem irrational to the world because we serve Christ, not people. When we become new creations in Christ, we need new perspectives that see through gospel eyes rather than worldly ones. We can't bring our old identity and ways of thinking into this new life. As ambassadors of reconciliation, every Christian is called to carry God's message to others, embodying the same spirit of reconciliation that Christ showed us.

Rev. James Harper preaches on 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 as part of our sermon series, "A Cross-Shaped Life." Paul teaches that while our earthly bodies are like temporary tents that wear out, believers have a guaranteed eternal home in heaven. Though we groan under the weight of this broken world's struggles, God has given us the Holy Spirit as a promise of our future restoration. This hope should transform how we live, causing us to walk by faith rather than sight, live to please God alone, and trust in Jesus rather than our own good works. Our physical bodies may be wasting away, but we are being renewed day by day for an eternal future where there will be no more pain, mourning, or death.

In this study we will learn how to develop a daily consistent trust in those things we must believe but cannot see.

How are Christians a new creation in Christ?How did Paul view and defend his ministry?Why must we all open our hearts toward God and one another?Living as New Creation | 2 Corinthians 5:17-6:13 | Paul's Second Letter to the CorinthiansOutline | ConversationSo then, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; what is old has passed away – look, what is new has come! And all these things are from God who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation. In other words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting people's trespasses against them, and he has given us the message of reconciliation. Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making his plea through us. We plead with you on Christ's behalf, “Be reconciled to God!”God made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we would become the righteousness of God.Now because we are fellow workers, we also urge you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For he says, “I heard you at the acceptable time, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Look, now is the acceptable time; look, now is the day of salvation!We do not give anyone an occasion for taking an offense in anything, so that no fault may be found with our ministry. But as God's servants, we have commended ourselves in every way, with great endurance, in persecutions, in difficulties, in distresses, in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in troubles, in sleepless nights, in hunger, by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by benevolence, by the Holy Spirit, by genuine love, by truthful teaching, by the power of God, with weapons of righteousness both for the right hand and for the left, through glory and dishonor, through slander and praise; regarded as impostors, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well-known; as dying and yet – see! – we continue to live; as those who are scourged and yet not executed; as sorrowful, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.We have spoken freely to you, Corinthians; our heart has been opened wide to you. Our affection for you is not restricted, but you are restricted in your affections for us. Now as a fair exchange – I speak as to my children – open wide your hearts to us also (2 Corinthians 5:17-6:13).

Trusting God in the Unknown: A Story of Following God's Leading 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 Letha & John Kerl

Message from Joel Abraham on 28/02/2026

In this episode of Understanding 2 Corinthians, Paul draws back the curtain on what compels true gospel ministry. Constrained by the fear of the Lord and the love of Christ, he proclaims reconciliation through the crucified and risen Savior. Those united to Christ are not merely improved—they are made new. Entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation, believers now serve as ambassadors for a kingdom not their own. Yet this ministry unfolds through weakness, hardship, and paradox. As Paul opens his heart to the Corinthians, we are confronted with a searching question: will we receive the grace of God in vain, or will we live as those reconciled and sent?

"Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God." 2 Corinthians 5:20

In this episode, Sam continues the Multiply series by emphasizing that true discipleship means not only following Jesus personally but actively participating in the work of ministry everywhere believers live, work, and relate. Drawing from Ephesians 4 and 2 Corinthians 5, the message centers on identity in Christ—highlighting that every believer is called to the ministry of reconciliation and equipped to help build up the body of Christ. The episode explores spiritual maturity as being rooted in Jesus rather than shaped by circumstances, stresses the importance of speaking truth in love, and encourages identity-based transformation over mere behavior change. Practical insights from habit formation reinforce the call to align daily life, community, and small consistent actions with the new identity believers have as new creations in Christ.

A devotional from 2 Corinthians 5:17 preached on February 22, 2026, by Tristan Lengacher.

Daily Dose of Hope February 20, 2026   Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5   Prayer:  Almighty God, As we move into our Friday, we pray that today will be a day that we see glimpses of your glory.  We need you, we yearn for you.  Lord, help us set aside our distractions and settle our scattered thoughts so we can focus on you and you alone.  In the next few moments of silence, Lord, hear our prayers... In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the daily Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida.  We have been journeying through Paul's New Testament letters.  I don't know about you, but its been great to learn more about Paul's relationship with his churches.  There is so much substance here.  Currently, we are in 2 Corinthians.   Today's reading is 2 Corinthians 5.  In the first ten verses of the chapter, Paul is tackling the difficult topic of what happens to us when we die. In Paul's culture (as in ours), there was fascination but also fear regarding the end of physical life. This piece of Scripture discusses the future resurrection and transformation of believers and the certainty of being with Jesus after death. We can be assured of this based on God placing the Spirit within us (Paul calls it a deposit). The Holy Spirit offers us assurance of salvation and that this earthly life is not the end.   Now, let's take a moment and talk about verse 17, one of my favorite verses of Scripture. Paul starts with the statement, "Therefore..." because the previous statement pointed out that Christ is no longer viewed from a human perspective, as he is God. Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior and his life, death, and resurrection form this radical, fundamental breakthrough for all creation. Because of this, things are different. God's Kingdom has been inaugurated and a new way of doing life is here. So, if someone is in Christ, meaning they have accepted Jesus and are united with a life-giving Savior, then this new way of living and being has started. They are no longer the same person. They are being transformed from the inside out by the power of the Spirit of God. The old person, the "pre-Jesus" life, is in the past. They now do life differently - new attitudes, new behaviors, new ways of thinking-focused on the ways of Jesus rather than the ways of the world   I want to add that becoming a new person is a choice. Others call it a process. It's both really. Becoming the person that God created us to be in Jesus Christ is not going to simply happen by accident. We participate in the process. The Holy Spirit works in us and we cooperate with God in the transformation. What has your "becoming a new creation" process looked like? None of us have arrived either. What are the places in your life in which God may be still calling you to change to look more like Jesus?   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Why do you exist? Why did God save you? Why did God save you from your sin? Why are you a part of the faith family at First Baptist Church? Why are you here? In our message today, the Apostle Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 5 that we have been reconciled to reconcile. We have a purpose in this life, and it is to proclaim the life-transforming gospel of the Lord Jesus from our neighborhoods to the nations. We are God's Plan A to take the good news that God wants to reconcile people to Himself through His Son.   No matter who you are or what you've done, God has a plan for your life. And that plan is to know Him, and ultimately to make Him known. Join with us today as we see that we are reconciled to reconcile.    ---    Have you ever felt powerless? I have, and it's a horrible feeling. I'm used to being able typically to figure out the challenges that come my way. Sometimes, though, nothing seems to work. As we walk together through 2 Corinthians, we're going to see what true power really looks like. We're going to see in various ways that God's power is made perfect in our weakness, and we're going to see why Paul would say “when I am weak, then I am strong.”    Sermon Notes: http://bible.com/events/49563122 Submit a Question: bit.ly/BeyondSundayQuestions

How did Paul live for the Crucified and Risen Lord?Why should we understand ourselves as held together and constrained by the love of Christ?Living For the Crucified and Risen Lord | 2 Corinthians 5:1-16 | Paul's Second Letter to the CorinthiansOutline | ConversationFor we know that if our earthly house, the tent we live in, is dismantled, we have a building from God, a house not built by human hands, that is eternal in the heavens. For in this earthly house we groan, because we desire to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed, after we have put on our heavenly house, we will not be found naked. For we groan while we are in this tent, since we are weighed down, because we do not want to be unclothed, but clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.Now the one who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment. Therefore we are always full of courage, and we know that as long as we are alive here on earth we are absent from the Lord – for we live by faith, not by sight. Thus we are full of courage and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So then whether we are alive or away, we make it our ambition to please him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be paid back according to what he has done while in the body, whether good or evil.Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we try to persuade people, but we are well known to God, and I hope we are well known to your consciences too. We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to be proud of us, so that you may be able to answer those who take pride in outward appearance and not in what is in the heart. For if we are out of our minds, it is for God; if we are of sound mind, it is for you. For the love of Christ controls us, since we have concluded this, that Christ died for all; therefore all have died. And he died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised. So then from now on we acknowledge no one from an outward human point of view. Even though we have known Christ from such a human point of view, now we do not know him in that way any longer (2 Corinthians 5:1-16).

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Bob Wilkin and Sam Marr are answering a question about believers being judged by God. What about our bad works or deeds? Do they not denote or imply sin or sins? If Jesus has already taken the judgment for believers' sins, how does this work at the Judgment
